It has come to my attention over the last few weeks and in my own stream night before last that allowing banned users to remain in the channel is a BAD idea. I have seen where a few streamers are being harrassed on other forms of social media and even being recorded for said purpose. The night before last I had a user being disruptive in my chat, so I banned him. This user then continued to use the sound alerts extension to repeatedly play the alerts continuing to be disruptive. Much of this would be solved by making banned users unable to access both the stream and the chat. I'm not sure why a banned user is still allowed ANY access in the first place. Many other platforms remove all access by IP address upon the content creator banning the user. This is something that should be relatively easy to code into the streaming platform, and should be done IMMIDATELY!
